The Sapphire Series 1620qz 3Gb/s SATA RAID server is a high-availability server that incorporates 10,000RPM storage capacity of 2,400GB (2.4TB) or 7200RPM storage capacities of 4,000GB (4TB) to 16,000GB (16TB) with the latest RAID technologies. High performance features include single or dual Quad-Core Xeon processors, up to 16GB system memory, and dual 10/100/1000 copper gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

This fault-tolerant server comes in a convenient, space-saving 3U Rackmount chassis with hot-swappable drives and trays, redundant 650 Watt N+1 power supply, and an advanced cooling system. Your data is protected with your choice of RAID 0, 1, 1E, 3, 5, 6 and JBOD across sixteen hot-swappable SATA disk drives on a high-performance 3Gb/s SATA RAID controller.

The Sapphire Series 1620qz provides two RAID Certified 36GB 10,000RPM WD Raptor disk drives mirrored at RAID 1 specifically for the operating system. These disks and RAID controller are completely independent of the data storage array.

Installation and setup are a breeze, allowing the Sapphire Series 1620qz to be up and running in about 15 minutes after it is unpacked from the box. Additional software, including backup client or server applications, may be loaded via its integrated DVD-ROM drive.

Sapphire Series Servers are powered by the latest Windows Server 2003 and Linux operating systems. These industry standard operating systems allows the Sapphire Series to be used as a file server, domain controller, application server, web server, name server, print server, streaming media server, and more!

Not only is the Sapphire Series 1620qz great as a stand-alone server, but it is also highly expandable as well. Optional single or dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI controllers allow the Sapphire Series 1620qz to be connected to external Ultra320 SCSI-attached RAID subsystems to vastly increase your available fault-tolerant storage capacities. An external tape backup device can also be connected to this SCSI controller for disaster recovery.

Or for even higher throughput, choose the optional 4Gb Optical Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters available with either single, dual or quad-ports -- allowing you to expand the Sapphire Series 1620qz with multiple Fibre Channel-Attached RAID subsystems scaling up to an additional 100+ TeraBytes of storage.

Whether you are building your company's network from the ground up, or just need to add more servers to your existing network, the Sapphire Series 1620qz NAS Storage Appliance is the solution for you!
